Filzi, the Romanswerk felt ball sling, is a fantastic skill game suitable for both young and old. Similar to archery, it trains hand-eye coordination, instinctive shooting, and concentration. Safe for indoor use thanks to the colorful felt balls (also available separately at In den Olifant). Shooting with a slingshot is exciting and relaxing at the same time, especially in psychotherapy with children. In occupational therapy, this type of game helps improve coordination.

Romanswerk is a small family business from Salzburger Land, Austria, that we discovered and immediately connected with at In den Olifant. Their collection of sustainable and educationally high-quality toys is locally made from natural materials and is fun for both children and adults. Everything is made with a clear eye for aesthetics and sustainability. The couple behind Romanswerk has poured their experience as psychologists and social workers into the development of their games. And of course, their daughter Greta (consciously or unconsciously) also plays an important role as a source of inspiration for new ideas. Have fun discovering this collection >
